Veterans in politics
The final moments of the Alvin Greene campaign
Alvin Greene Democrat candidate for the Senate, lost in South Carolina but he did much better than he deserved. His opponent Jim DeMint won 792,133 votes compared to Greene’s 358,276. I don’t know who Greene’s supervisor was in the Army, but he deserves an Meritorious Service Medal if this is the same way Greene acted […]

Those non-partisan folks at IAVA
You probably remember TSO’s well researched and documented article last week entitled “Criticisms of the New IAVA Scorecard (Actually, ALL Scorecards)“. Well Veterans Today decided that Michael Farrell would do an article on the IAVA scorecard, too, but apparently they wanted to the complete opposite – just cut and paste without a moment’s research. The […]
Col. Gibson pulls ahead of whats-his-name-snooty-rich-boy
You probably remember the bit I wrote last week about decorated retired colonel Chris Gibson when he slapped down some snot-nosed rich boy in a debate. The Albany Times-Union says the good colonel is now up nine points on Scott Murphy; Gibson’s appeal has also broadened beyond his Columbia County base as voters have learned […]
Nonpartisanship; UR doin’ it wrong

Leon defends the VFW PAC by pointing out how other PACs support candidates from both sides of the aisle based on […]
Privatize the VA?
From the CATO Institute: If you listen to Democratic campaign ads in Colorado, Nevada, or Delaware, among other places, you will discover yet another perfidious plot by evil Republicans — they want to “privatize the VA.” Which makes one respond, “This is a horrible thing because … why?” I know that even the mention of […]
VA’s Moran: military service isn’t public service
According to the Washington Examiner, the usually drunken brawler who Virginia’s 8th District continues to return to his Congressional seat, Jim Moran, locked in a close battle for that seat, disparaged the military service of his opponent. Speaking to members of the Arlington County Democratic Committee on October 6th; “What [Republicans] do is find candidates, […]
Retired Colonel puts rich boy in his place
I picked this up at Ace of Spades yesterday, but I’ve been holding on to it for days like this. It seems that Retired Colonel Chris Gibson is facing off with Scott Murphy – another of those Hah-vahd grads who carpetbagged themselves into New York State. Chris Gibson, on the other hand is a born […]
